Useful information. I’m going through the process myself now so thanks for the insights provided.

Use AXA

yes I know that. But the term deposit guarantees my credit card and that’s the only way I was able to get a credit card in Thailand. While the interest earned on the term deposit is negligible, the fact that I have a credit card in Thailand is worth more to me and the bank is protected by having my term deposit as their guarantee. But if you have a different solution …… 🤷🏼‍♂️

Go to Bangkok Bank. It’s easy to get a credit card. Just place a Term Deposit equivalent to your credit limit and you are good to go.

I never use bottled water for tea. Always from the tap. But that’s just me.
